"We need to think about this matter carefully." Xuan Lao had lots of experience in managing the group within the Taiwan mountains." The situation within the mountain is quite complicated."
"When I first arrived here, it took me lots of resources and struggle just to establish the current group. The only reason I was even successful was because of this cave. Without such a hiding spot, a novice group of bandits would be wiped out and devoured by the ravagers in the mountains, unless you are powerful enough."
"Even with the cultivation base of 8 rank Qi King, I could only be counted as a peak of middle-grade bandit leaders. If I want to become the top power within the eastern side, I need to enter the peak of Qi king level. Only then would I be confident enough to face the emperor level cultivators ."
Feeling the uncertainty within Xuan Lao's voice, Li Meng decided to probe further.
"What do you mean by being top of middle grade? Are there bandits within the eastern borders who have emperor level cultivators within their ranks?"
"Why do you think that the city forces are not able to take control over the border areas even after being led by emperor level cultivators. The top bandit groups within the Taiwan mountains are no small matter. The top tier powers within the eastern borders are all led by Qi Emperors."
"But they must be earthen law cultivators at most right. Why are you scared of them when you have connected with two Heavenly laws. You should be able to fight them on equal standing."
"You are underestimating the might of Qi emperors." The bandit leader spoke. " Once one steps into the Qi emperor level, a qualitative leap in his body takes place. Even though I have connected with Two Heavenly laws, I am only able to compare to them based on Qi capacity."
"But the additional benefits such as Body upgrade and control over their Qi is not something I could rival. Even you, who connected with three heavenly laws wouldn't be able to compare to them in the two areas when you are in 8th level of Qi King."
Li Meng understood Xuan Lao's logic. He was quite different and was confident in his ability to contend and kill Qi Emperors once he steps into the advanced level of Qi king. The confidence could be attributed to his body cultivation and the huge number of laws which he would have connected to by the time he reaches that stage.
"Another secret which deters the city forces is the fact that some of the Bandit leaders are Heavenly law users. They are criminal from major sects or desperate cultivators like me who are trying to increase their strength to contend with their enemies."
"What I fear are those who are on the same level as me. Although two Heavenly Laws sound like a huge matter, every force comparable to Thunder Academy and Shengluo pavilion has many of them. Even your thunder academy has multiple. I have heard rumours that the strongest bandit leader in the eastern borders is not only a Qi emperor but also someone who has cultivated multiple laws."
"People are sure that one of them is Heavenly law and are uncertain about the others."
Li Meng came to understand how mysterious and complex the power structure was within the Taiwan mountains. If the border areas are dominated by figures such as those, what about the inner and core area where the resources are most abundant.
"We need to increase our strength as fast as possible." LI Meng decided to follow the same procedure which he used in the Jiao country military.
"Call all the available personals back to the cave. I will be training them and making them stronger. We are going to take control over the eastern borders." He flicked his hand and a pouch flew to Xuan Lao." These are some top-grade pills that I concocted for my training In Qi King level."
When he opened the pouch, a deep medicinal smell assaulted every corner of the room. The strong smell easily depicted the effectiveness of the pills. Xuan Lao was flabergasted by this scene.
"You are an alchemist. " This was too much to take. Not only was the person standing in front of him cultivating three Heavenly laws, but he was also a King rank alchemist too.
" No need to get agitated over this matter. Take these pills and improve your strength. You should be able to reach the peak of the Qi king level with the help of these pills and the stele. I will be leaving this region so0n, And I will do my best to train and make your troops stronger until then."
Xuan Lao bowed to Li meng and began his retreat.

The Crimson Lord world-
"You are investing a lot of resources in this place. Are you sure about making it one of your bases?" The Keeper understood that Li meng was trying to establish one of his forces in the Taiwan mountains.
"I had to begin so0mewhere. This place is perfect for covert operations and it is a well-formed group of bandits with enough battle experience."
"On the other hand, I am only investing resources in Xuan Lao who is going to be one of my subordinates in future. As per the rest, they need to hunt their resources through battle and prove their worth before being rewarded with my investment."
"What is the next step?" The Keeper couldn't help but ask.
"I have decided to have Lu Ming break through the Qi King level next." It was time to come out of the academy and join the Pill Valley. Only in that place could he hope to gather enough resources.
"Which laws is he going to connect with?"
"I have decided to have him connect with laws of fire, wood and earth. Wood and earth complement each other quite well and fire would provide the perfect complement to water laws which I have connected to. It's time for me to see the power of complementary laws which you were bragging about."
"You are just upgrading these three laws from the earthen level to the Heavenly level. It wouldn't take much time for you to succeed. I guess you want to complete the breakthrough before leaving the Taiwan mountains."
"I have to take control over the whole region and make it one of my bases. The Feng Sui and natural luck of this place are quite great and would be perfect for my future force. The only way to succeed is by becoming strong enough to overwhelm every single force in here."
"I have decided to leave a clone in here to help with the expansion of our group. I will eliminate most of the city forces before leaving this place. It should provide Xuan Lao with enough time to break through the Qi King level. He should be able to conquer the eastern borders with the help of that strength."
The plan was straight forward. He was going to leave for the next mission by his master. He aimed to return once all three mission is complete and take complete control over the eastern area of the Tawian mountains by the time he reaches the Qi Emperor level.
.......................
"Sir Li. It is an emergency. One of our scouts within the mountain has reported back with an invitation letter."
"Who is it from?" Li Meng was interested in whoever had the gall to invite bandits.
" It is signed by the vice-leader of Mad Lion Bandits. They are one of the hegemon forces within the Taiwan mountain led by a Qi Emperor. They have decided to invite the bandit leader from the whole mountain to ally against the city forces who are about to reach this location."
Even bandit groups know how to ally in a time of need. The city forces must have been quite powerful to provoke such a grand reaction. There is no harm in seeing what the leader had to suggest. He was confident in his strength ever since his soul broke into the Grandmaster level and he opened all the acupoints.
"Call back all the scouts from around and make sure that they are not followed by anyone. I will be attending this meeting to see exactly what the leader of Mad-lion Bandits wants."
He gave the vice-leader a huge list. ' this the training regime which I have formulated for the troops. They are to follow it from now on and be prepared to go to war any time. If we want to rule ove rteh eastern borders, we need to prepare adequately."
.....................…
Near the Mad-lion gorge-
Leaders had flocked in huge numbers in response to the invitation from the Mad-lions. The threat presented by the city forces was too much for any force to handle single-handedly.
"I thank all of you to respond positively to the invitation. Please proceed inside for the meeting." One of the vice-leader personally appeared to escort the leaders.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
